Magnesium is very useful for alloys. We use it for make medicines. Mg has a mass number of 24.

Mg2+: [1s22s22p6]
its mg2+
Magnesium, ion (Mg2+)
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.
The formula for mass number is number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number. Mass number can also be referred to as nucleon number.
This is a basic stoichiometry question. Things you need to know:1 mol = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/particles/molecules/ionsRatio of Mg in MgCl2 : 1mol Mg2+/1 mol MgCl2Always start with what you are given:3.00 mol MgCl2 X 1mol Mg2+/1 mol MgCl2 X 6.022 x 10^23 ions Mg2+/ 1mol Mg2+=1.8066 x 10^24 ions Mg2+
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, neutral magnesium would have 12 electrons. Mg2+ therefore has 2 less electrons, or 10.
Mg2+: [1s22s22p6]
Mg2+
Mg equals Mg2+ plus 2e-
its mg2+
Magnesium, ion (Mg2+)
The number of protons is 12, the number of electrons is 10, the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
There are 10 electrons in an Mg2+ ion.
The Mg2 plus cation has 10 electrons.

Mg2+ has 10 electrons. Neon also has 10 electrons. This means Mg2+ and Ne are isoelectronic (Mg doesn't migrate to Ne, the terminology is isoelectronic meaning having the same number of electrons)
